Disclosed is a coated metal pipe including a metal pipe and a multi-layered coating film that covers an outer circumferential surface of the metal pipe. The multi-layered coating film includes a chemical conversion layer and a primer layer, and these layers are provided in this order from the inside. The chemical conversion layer contains a zirconium oxide and/or a zirconium hydroxide. The primer layer contains a polyamide imide and/or an epoxy resin.

Threaded parts such as bolts are rust-proofed by using a treatment liquid including a binder resin containing silica and at least one of a modified epoxy resin obtained by graft polymerization using a carboxylic acid-containing acrylic polymer as a side chain and a modified acrylic resin obtained by graft polymerization using a carboxylic acid-containing acrylic polymer as a side chain. By using this treatment liquid, coating treatment can be carried out at one time without need to use an organic solvent. There is an advantage that the friction coefficient does not increase even when tightening is repeated.

According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a chemical conversion coated metal sheet including a metal substrate and a chemical conversion coating film laminated on at least one surface of the metal substrate, in which the chemical conversion coating film contains a water-soluble resin, and a lubricant having carbon-oxygen bonds; a thickness of the chemical conversion coating film is 0.2 to 1m; and the lubricant includes 1 atom % or more of carbon atoms configuring the carbon-oxygen bonds relative to a total of carbon atoms contained in the lubricant.

The invention is directed to methods for making an EC material comprising providing a substrate, applying at least one metal linker to the substrate, applying at least one metal-coordinated organic complex to form a layer, washing the layer, drying the layer, and repeating the applying steps to obtain a multiple layer EC material. The invention is further directed to EC materials made by the methods of this invention.

This invention relates to a coating composition, a method for coating of a metallic substrate as well as the use of a chain-extended aspartate prepolymer for improving the early hardness of the coating composition and in a two-component coating composition.

A wood fiber composite with improved adhesion is made using the method described herein. The uncoated substrate is coated with a pretreatment, followed by coating of a sealer and a topcoat over the pretreatment. Preheating the substrate prior to pretreatment appears to increase adhesion.

The pretreatment agent for use before forming a coat by paint application of the present invention contains (A) one or more metal elements selected from a group consisting of zirconium, titanium and hafnium, (B) fluorine, (C) one or more coupling agents selected from an amino group-containing silane coupling agent, its hydrolyzate, and its polymer, and (D) a component of at least one of an allylamine and a polyallylamine, in which the ratio by mass of the coupling agent (C) to the component (D), (C/D) is 1 or more. The coating method by paint application of the present invention includes a chemical conversion treatment step of chemically treating a metal substrate with the pretreatment agent, and a step of forming a coat by paint application on the chemically-treated metal substrate. When a coating film is formed through forming a coat by paint application on the surface of a metal substrate that has been pretreated according to the present invention, the coating film can have excellent adhesion, salt water resistance and impact resistance.

Disclosed is a polyester polymer prepared from a reaction mixture comprising a polyacid component and a polyol component that comprises lignin. Residues of lignin are incorporated into the backbone of the polyester polymer. Coatings comprising the same and substrates coated at least in part with such coatings are also disclosed.

A method for coating a surface of a moving part of a vehicle may include a coating preparation process of disposing a screen having a plurality of meshes to be distanced from a surface of the moving part of the vehicle to be coated depending on a predetermined spaced distance; and a coating layer deposition process of forming a coating layer having a pattern having a shape in which a plurality of embossings corresponding to the mesh shape is repeated on the surface of the moving part of the vehicle by a vacuum deposition scheme and forming the coating layer so that the adjacent emboss is connected to each other.

Coating a metallic surface with at least one of a pretreatment composition prior to organic coating, with a passivation composition without intent for subsequent organic coating, with a pretreatment primer composition, with a primer composition, with a paint composition and with an electrocoating composition, wherein the coating composition includes particles on a base of at least one layered double hydroxide (LDH) phase characterized by the general formula [M.sup.2+.sub.(10.5)x(M.sup.3+, M.sup.4+).sub.x(OH).sub.20.75]A.sup.n.sub.x/n.mH.sub.2O.
